Proposal

• That every government should formulate a national policy, i.e. guidelines with objectives and resources, that considers access to the Internet and its content as a public communication service and thus as a public utility essential for both individuals and the community as a whole.

• That it therefore sets-up a framework of legislation and regulations related to effective programmes for generalised access and the control of ICTs, and public initiatives for diffusing information participative communication with the community.

• That legislation provides mechanisms for monitoring and control in which groups and associations from civil society participate on an equal basis to represent the public interest.
